FOR FAMILY CARE HOMES: “LEAD-FREE PAINT SHALL BE USED FOR ALL PAINTED SURFACES.” SEE SECTION 19 CSR40-61.085(2)(A)(7) ON PAGE 13 OF REGULATIONS.

LEAD AND LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS BEFORE A FACILITY IS LICENSED IT MUST RECEIVE A “BASIC LEAD HAZARD EVALUATION (BLHE)” IF THE “BLHE” INDICATES THAT A LEAD HAZARD MAY BE PRESENT, A SEPARATE INSPECTION IS CONDUCTED BY A LICENSED LEAD INSPECTOR.

LEAD AND LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS FOR GROUP CHILD CARE HOMES AND CHILD CARE CENTERS: “LEAD-FREE PAINT SHALL BE USED FOR ALL PAINTED SURFACES.” SEE SECTION 19 CSR40-62.082(2)(A)(7) ON PAGE 13 OF REGULATIONS.

LEAD AND LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS FOR LICENSE-EXEMPT CHILD CARE: “THE FACILITY SHALL BE FREE OF ALL LEAD HAZARDS AND ASBESTOS THAT IS FRIABLE OR DANGEROUS.” SEE SECTION 19 CSR40-60.100(1)(F) ON PAGE 16 OF REGULATIONS.

One out of every 11 children in the United States has dangerous levels of lead in the bloodstream. Even children who appear healthy can have dangerous levels of lead. Lead exposure can harm young children and babies even before they are born.

7
MANUFACTURERS USED TO PUT LEAD IN PIGMENT IN PAINT TO MAKE THE PAINT LAST LONGER AND CLING TO SURFACES. IN 1978, THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION BANNED ITS SALE FOR USE IN RESIDENCES. APPROXIMATELY 64 MILLION DWELLINGS BUILT BEFORE 1978 CONTAIN LEAD-BASED PAINT.

8
LEAD AND LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS µg : SHORT-HAND FOR MICROGRAM. A MICROGRAM IS ONE MILLIONTH OF A GRAM. µg/dL : SHORT FOR MICROGRAMS PER DECILITER. THIS MEASUREMENT IS USED TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH LEAD IS IN THE BLOOD.

12
EFFECTS OF LEAD LEAD INTERFERES WITH SOME OF THE BODY’S BASIC BIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS. THE HUMAN BODY DOES NOT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN LEAD AND CALCIUM; LEAD IS ABSORBED IN BONES. IN THE USA, APPROXIMATELY 900,000 CHILDREN AGES 1-TO-5 HAVE A BLOOD- LEAD LEVEL EXCEEDING THE LEVEL OF CONCERN.

28
SOURCES OF LEAD USED IN FIXTURES, PIPES & SOLDERING AND CAN LEACH INTO WATER. SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT OF 1986 AND 1988 RESTRICTS THE USE OF LEAD IN PLUMBING FIXTURES.

29
SOURCES OF LEAD SUNLIGHT & HEAT CAN BREAK DOWN SOME VINYL MINIBLINDS, RELEASING LEAD DUST. LOOK FOR “NEW FORMULATION,” “NON-LEADED FORMULA,” OR “NEW NON-LEADED VINYL.”

30
SOURCES OF LEAD OIL COMPANIES USED TO ADD LEAD IN GASOLINE TO STOP ENGINE KNOCK. LEAD REDUCED IN 1978 BY THE EPA. AN ESTIMATED 4 - 5 MILLION METIC TONS OF LEAD FROM GAS STILL IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

31
SOURCES OF LEAD REMODELING CAN INTRODUCE LEAD DUST INTO THE FACILITY. WHICH IS THEN PICKED UP ON THE HANDS OF THE CHILD AND INGESTED.

32
TESTING FOR LEAD AN ‘AT RISK’ CHILD SHOULD BE TESTED AT 6 MONTHS OF AGE. REPEAT EVERY 6 MONTHS UNTIL AGE 2. AFTER 2, HAVE CHILD TESTED ONCE A YEAR UNTIL AGE 6. A CHILD THAT IS ‘NOT AT RISK’ SHOULD BE TESTED FOR THE FIRST TIME AT AGE 1 AND AGAIN AT AGE 2.

33
TESTING FOR LEAD A SIMPLE BLOOD TEST CAN DETERMINE THE PRESENCE OF LEAD IN THE BODY. YOUR PHYSICIAN OR THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT CAN TAKE THIS BLOOD SAMPLE. A CHILD SHOULD NOT HAVE MORE THAN 10 µg/dL BLOOD-LEAD LEVEL.

42
ABATEMENT REMOVAL OF LEADED-PAINT IN AN OCCUPIED DAYCARE CENTER REQUIRES THAT A LICENSED CONTRACTOR DO THE WORK. ACCORDING TO THE MISSOURI BUREAU OF CHILD CARE SAFETY AND LICENSURE, LEADED-PAINT IN GOOD CONDITION IS NOT CONSIDERED A HAZARD.

43
ABATEMENT ENCLOSURE: LEAD-PAINTED SURFACE IS COVERED WITH PANELING, WALLBOARD, OR OTHER APPROVED MATERIAL TO PREVENT LEAD DUST FROM BEING RELEASED.

44
ABATEMENT ENCAPSULATION: A LEAD-PAINTED SURFACE IS COATED WITH A SPECIAL LIQUID PAINT THAT HARDENS AND PREVENTS LEAD DUST FROM BEING RELEASED.

45
PREVENTION TEACH CHILDREN TO HANDWASH BEFORE THEY EAT OR SLEEP. WASH TOYS, BOTTLES, AND PACIFERS OFTEN. KEEP HOME DUST- FREE BY WET MOPPING. TEACH CHILDREN TO PLAY IN THE GRASS, NOT IN THE DIRT.

46
PREVENTION MAKE SURE CHILDREN EAT AT LEAST THREE MEALS A DAY. LESS LEAD IS ABSORBED WHEN CHILDREN HAVE FOOD IN THEIR SYSTEMS. AVOID FRIED AND FATTY FOODS THAT ALLOW LEAD ABSORPTION.

47
PREVENTION GIVE FOODS HIGH IN CALCIUM AND IRON. THE BODY CAN MISTAKE LEAD FOR THESE MINERALS. A DIET LACKING PROTEIN, ZINC, AND VITAMIN C MAY ALSO RESULT IN INCREASED LEAD ABSORBTION.
